The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow may best be described by it's genre. It is written in the style of modern female literature, almost in the same tone as a biography, with light overtones of science fiction and a heavy religious overtone. If I owned a bookstore I would be tempted, if not forced to place this book in Religion over Fiction. That is how heavy the religious overtones are. Its not a preachy book, more of a deep look about the legitimacy of God.
The story itself was great -when she got around to telling it. I won't be reading the sequel.
3.5/5
